Annice,
I just received the catalog from the local community college. The index
jumps from "Authorized Sun Education Center" to "Autodesk Premier Training"
and from "Wedding Planning" to "Word Processing". There is no automotive or
welding content whatsoever, zip, zilch, nada. Ditto for the two high schools
in town. It is not an issue of making the courses available, there is no
facility, faculty, equipment, nothing.
